Mozart: Il Mio Tesoro | Don Giovanni & Tosti: Non t'amo piu •Matthew Rose Masterclass•Snape Maltings 

Alex is a remarkable young tenor. Keep in mind that he is not a native English speaker, so he has an even greater language gap in learning the Italian. Yes, Matthew was impatient with him because, and I say this as a professional operatic baritone of eight years, he saw greatness in him! So many tenors would be jealous of Alex's voice. It's clear and it rings when he allows his body to phonate as it needs to. Matthew understands this. We singers have to absorb an incredible amount of information, so, yes, it is frustrating breaking apart a bad habit and replacing it with the correct one. And it requires this level of vigilance so that when the performance comes, he doesn't have to think about it his preparation then. Every singer has gone through this process whether alone, with their teacher, or in public. And when he relaxes from his nervous tension and simply sings what he has clearly drilled multiple times already, he performs, not just sings, beautifully. I saw a video that he is now a nurse and is using his singing to help brighten both his coworkers' and patients' days. I would be honored to work with you, Alex. Thank you, sir. And many happy returns across your path.

Listen to this teacher, but also understand that there are no tenors with your sound right now. Gain these basic understandings of language and know there is a very bright future in front of you. Listen to to the outstanding tenors. The basics cannot be overrated. It’s not about the story right now, it’s about the text and about the pronunciation. And understand that just because you are a tenor, your job is not easy, but harder. There is an expectation that must be achieved. A consistency in all ranges. Please please please do not be discouraged if you receive conflicting advice, but work on your vocal consistency and continuity. You can go wherever you want. Put in the work now and reap the rewards in front of you. I wish you the very best of luck!!

I loved watching Matthew work forensically with this very puupy-ish tenor. Bravo Matthew.

I liked his "non t'amo"! Nice one :)

Why can’t we watch them now if they are uploaded to your channel?

Che lingua parla?

I do not understand most of the words...the same for the teacher

But very nice voice although all the sounds are very open... maybe too early for an aria of that kind?

Frankly, it is unbearable for me. Alex Aldren has the level he has and, for sure, many things can be improved. But the teacher doesn't play his role here, that's to say starting from a level and thriving to up grade it. He interrupts the tenor for all and any mistakes, doesn't let him sing one phrase, has always something to say. I understand there is a lot of work to do, still, but I lived it as a bashing and a humiliation. I don't know how the tenor resisted not to quit the scene shouting a big nasty word to this "teacher"

He is trying to compensate his lack of technique by pushing and shouting. So many tensions in his neck...
